VIM the Hsrnld Did say.

The Herald has repeatedly called
the Swedish people as a class seal
lawags," but has tried to SHIFT the
responsibility by saying that the
terms referred TO two Swedes. Again
In the Democratic convention Of 1887,
J. NJ. Davis, the editor of the Herald,
who filled the seat OF James san
burn by proxy, said the resolution Of
A. J. HOlmquist reprOving the Her
aid for calling the Swedes SCALA
wsg" was a falsshOOd. From the
Herald OF the 10th inst, the follow
ingextraet is made, proving that each
and everything charged to the Her
aid was true:
"And there is another fact that the
Democrats Of the county have to
face, and hat Is that the Swedish
people Of Saline county are Republic
cans, and will continue to be just rs
long as they ran control the Doodle
and Offices OF he Republican parry.
They do not, with perhaps a few ex-
ceptiOns, cons der the difference, or
even know tie difference, between
platforms Of the two parties, aud do
not care Gs long as their UOte igiU
command its price"
The Herald says the swedish PeO-
pie are purchasable-that with per-
haPs q few exceptions" they have
their price, and are boOdlers. This
II an insult 10 4 respectable people
that the Democratic party, II II had
the requisite backbone, would re-
sent
In another place In the Herald OF
the same date is thisfurther extract:
THE Herald is in favor Of encour-
aging the respectable portion Of the
Republican party TO join OUTS, hut
we don't want the schllaWags. We
have mOnkeyed with scallawags Of
the Swt dish persuasion two years
now and got sold out and BETRAYED
for our pains. We are tired of il
and them"
Did or did not the Hcraid call the
Swedish people .'scallawags We
say it did.

4 Delightful Event

Tie opera house WAS the scene OF
the most brilliant assemblage Thurs
day evening that has occurred in our
fiOurishing city for long time. The
initial party Of the "Blue Danube"
club WAS q happy success, and the
dances to be given by this club
through the coming season promise
to afford rare enjoyment for It's
guests. At 9 O'Clock the Fourth
Regiment Band struck up an inspir-
ing march, ami the dancers, under
the skilled supervision of II. h.
Jeffries, began the various evolu-
lions pertaining to the grand march
Marching by twOs, fours aud Fights;
cOunter-marching, and all the lsby
rlnthal movements were successfully
performed; eliminating In a quad
rifle followed by the "Blue Danube"
waltz, from which the club takes its
name, the music for this was fur
nished by the band. The Saline or
chestra Of eight pieces furnished the
music the remslnder Of the evening,
and famous as they are, never pro-
duced more delicious music than
last evening. The ladies' handsome
toilets reflected back from mellow
strea ms Of gas light through tinted
globes, produced q most inspiring
scene. A programme Of twenty-One
numbers were happily danced, clos
ing with the "Blue Danube" waltz,
which evoked the admiration Of all.

An amusing affair occurred the
other day which Is worthy Of record,
aud should become part and parcel
Of the daily happenings which we
publish In the JOURNAL. There has
been about town for some time q
person OF "dudish" demeanUr-tall

who has q habit of standing like q
statue, with an arm folded on his
breast, while he cares upon the fair
ladies as they pass by. He so stood
in front OF the Baltimore Clothing
store, as two well-knOwn ladies
sauntered by. One Of them gla ced
ut the figure as she passed, and could
not make up her mind whether it
was a dummy" or real man.
Her curiosity urged her to touch the
figure, when, 10, behold the figure
moved, and the lady aforesaid utter
ed little seream-while the dude
only said "aw!" The Baltimore
store is in luck to have such an ad-
vertisement-a little ahead Of all
competitors.

A sarr.u, Man Condemn. s.rr-,,.


ED.JOURNAL:-Ihave been inform
ed that Mr.. Joseph Sargent places
his name before the people IS an
independent candidate for county
clerk, on the ground that he was de-
feated In the convention by q ruling
from the chairman 10 favor Of Mr..
Swanson, and also that he was count
ed out by the teller. As I was secre-
tary' Of that convention and heard
the ruling which suppose he COM
plains Of, will give what I consider
a correct version Of the matter. IL
was in case Of a delegate that had
temporarily left the room and re-
quested friend to vote for him, Civ
ing the name of a candidate he wish
ed 10 vote for. There Was previous
~ vote taken by the convention
that where q delegation were not all
present those present should cast the
full vote Of the delegation. In this
case the chairman ruled that where a
delegate was absent but for one vote
and had left the name Of the candi-
date he wished to vote for Il would
be counted as the delegate wished.
In regard TO the count as the cOnven-
ton did not elect any tellers the
secretary counted the vote, Capt.
MOhler being at one end Of the table
and at the OtheT-One on each side
Of the assistant secretary, who called
the roll. As Mr.. M9hler was keep
ing the count we compared our tai
lies before announcing the result /;
also when We were In any doubt
about the way q delegate voted we
stopped the calling and satisfied
ourselves before proceeding with the
count. At the time complained OF,
We were both alike, and am
certain we were right. The vote
stood "A for each-S WansOn and Sar-
gent. was "a anxious as any one
to see Mr.. Sargent nominated, and
together with our delegation, voted
for him every time; but was not
( anxious enough to see him nominal
ed to get him In by a fraudulent
count. think the gentleman does
wrong to the Republicans who
have stood by him for the past six
or eight years, and announcing him
self Independent alter the Demo
mOcratic convention has failed TO
nominate "A candidate for clerk looks
like a direct trade with the old
clOven-fOOted Democracy, watch I
hope all Republicans will unite in
cOndemning. think the chairman
ruled properly as t'ie previous vote
was taken TO allow delegations to iii
the places Of any that had not srriv-
ed, and not to vote for q delegate
that was present and had Temperate
ly left his seat. These are my views
/ In regard TO this matter, and hope
they will be eOncurred In by every
Republican In Saline county.

the mass Of earth would have been
disturbed by the moving team and

Postmaster Carroll finds this morn

boxes were broken intwo and q num-
Der Of others indented Rs II struck by
the small end Of q heavy cane. Mr..
Carroll has been 81 loss to deter
mine who has been guilty Of this
species OF vandalism. IL was done
within the past day or two, and must
have been accomplished by pressing
heavily against the boxes, as nothing
resembling a loud noise was heard
at the inside. II II well that the
author OF authors are not known, as
they would most certainly have
been prosecuted. The penalty for
OfFenses Of this character against the
United states Is quite severe, includ-
oppressive fine and imprisonment.
Some Of the boys who go about de-
facing the walls Of new dwellings
and committing other outrages are
probably the offending parties.
But We would advise whoever did
perpetrate the outrage TO keep
shady and not be guilty Of such
petty meanness again, for punish
ment j. sure 10 follow an expose.

The following is taken from the

StuceO IL the name Of "A
new material for plastering houses,
that il being introduced In this city
by Eberhardt d SudendOrf. II il
manufactured at Hope, this state.
We visited the house Of Dir. Hurley
this morning where We found W. NJ.
Martins force engaged i'm putting on
this plaster. One room had been
plastered about thirty minutes before
we arrive and Il was so hard that Il
could not be dented or knocked of.
After il once sets Il Is there as long
"a the house stands, not cracking or
coming Off by being wet. II costs
about three cents more than lime and
II said to be much better.
StuccO has been used with success
10 Salina. The residences Of A..
Kemper and II. King were plastered
with il. and these gentlemen we're
we'll pleased The new residence
Of 7. q. Bond il also receiving q
stucco coat. One thing in favor Of it
is that il Immediately dries, and
finishing work can be put on at
once-thus doing away with the
usual two or three weeks delay in
ordinary plastering. As sOon as it
is put on It becomes as hard and
solid as a stone.

The man who bet Emanuel Swan
son one hundred dollars that he
tSwansOn) would rot be elected, was
w. w. Bartlett, late candidate for
sheriff before the Republican county
convention. Mr.. Bartlett has not
looked around very much 10 find
any one 70 take his bet But the
question arises Why should Bartlett
be boiling the nominations. We
supposed OF course that he was a
straight Republican. Hehas always
claimed to be. He does not submit
gracefully like his friend Martin,
who announces that he will support
the entire Republican ticket.

Joe sargent, in an article in the
Horaid yesterday. attempted TO de-
fend his course In going out Of the
Republican convention. where he
had been candidate, and deliber-
ateIy allowing his name to be- placed
upon the Democratic ticket. Mr.
Sargent does not deny that he told
Mr.. Burke that he would be a eandi-
date subject 10 the action Of
the Republican convention. Mr..
Sargent assumes that the Jour-
SAL only spoke the sentiments of
the politicians when il said there
was 3 prevailing sentiment that Mr..
Sargent had held the Office Of county
clerk long enough. AZ matter Of
fact there are more Of the prominent
politicians Of the county supporting
Sargent to-day than Swanson. We
have even peard II asserted that
Joe Sargent l. slick politician
himself" We think Il requires con-
siderable gall for, Mr. Sargent to
come forward and assume that he Is
greater and wiser and better than
mis- party.
